Wheel swap question

I have a 2004 ( later model) x type. I want to do some winter wheels and tires. My car has the stock 17" alloys, will the stock 16" steel wheels fit ? The wheel and tire sets in 16 are much cheaper thanks Charlie

Not sure on the 16" steel wheels as I wasn't aware of them being available. I have 17" Jaguar alloys for summer and 16" Jaguar alloys for Winter. Car drives much better on the 16" as well.

The older ones or the VWs will fit, make sure you get the right size tires, and the right lug nuts, they use acorns, rather than the shoulder washer type that the alloys use.
